Aaron, as far as I know, keepalive frames(EtherType 0x9000) have nothing to do with Ethernet interface "line protocol". You can connect two ports with keepalive frames disabled, but you'll still see the "line protocol" up. Cisco "line protocol" should be "link integrity check" signals sent by Ethernet transceiver circuits(PHY).
